Yeah he really shoulda suggested Scottie take an online engineering course that probably woulda put him at a normal level of functioning after two half-semesters of courses. Online education may be beyond 24th century technology though.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Holodeck is a whole different can of worms than a mere video game. If I lived in a star trek future and space feminists tried to take away sex simulations from all holodecks, then I would definitely become a space gamergater.

Season 7 of TNG was garbage.

Star Trek threads on SA are the best because goon Trekkies are a strange breed that love DS9 and like to poke fun at the series. Most Trekkies in the wild seem to be spergy know-it-alls in love with Voyager, and they take it very seriously for some bizarre reason. However, I'd take your average Voyager fan over Mr. Internet Athiest explains while dualism is bullshit. To him and all those arguing with him, y'all need LSD.

Shaddak posted:

That's a relic of TOS. They had to do that when standing up, because the shirts were a separate part of the uniform. It's just that everyone decided it looked cool, so they had Picard and crew doing that on TNG, just for the look.

The post below yours has Riker and Picard in one piece spandex uniforms.

It wasn't a hold-over. The spandex required Stuart to contort his back and he demanded the uniforms change in the third season. They were cheap and switched to a collared, back-zip, jacket and black slacks. The jackets would ride up and people would be forced to pull them down on Camera. The TNG blu-rays are great because you can see exactly how cheap the props and costuming actually were. The horrific sets and props of later-day TNG, DS9, and Voyager looked a lot better when you were watching on a old-rear end TV with bad reception.

My problems with Star Trek:

-All the ships are oriented the same direction, with only a few exceptions. There's no way this would really happen.

-If the transporters can destroy your molecular structure and then regenerate it on the other side, why not store a backup copy so that nobody ever dies on away missions?

-Gene Roddenberry was very 'bioconservative' in some ways. There's no microchip implants. There's no genetic engineering. We're supposed to believe humans don't change at all in the future, and that that's looked down upon in society. From where I'm sitting it looks kind of inevitable that that will happen, so it's hard to believe a future where it doesn't, yet we still get stuff like warp drive/holodecks/etc.

-Alien human hybrids are a thing in Star Trek. How the hell can humans and vulcans/klingons/cardassians have viable offspring with each other? They're from different planets. Their DNA should be so different that it's impossible to combine like that. This is the least believable thing in all of Trek.

-Too much time travel. I think Trek would be a lot better without any time travel stories at all. And it's way too easy to do--just fly around a star. That completely breaks the universe.

Isn't marathon literally exactly about a dude who just is continually downloaded from the pattern buffer and beams into a constant space war? Like can't you get killed, "reload" the level and walk past your dead body like "heh scrub me got murdered again" *eats a space grenade*

I played it like once I think? I can't remember. Aren't save points you uploading yourself back into the buffer so you don't have to start over from dead again?

If that's the case at least it's doing something interesting and embracing the fatalistic materialism of the setting, unlike loving trek that constantly glosses it over.

half life does this

the gman is some thing whoser basically only ability is to move around in space time rite? so like everything in the game is there cause the g man has manipulated the events that will happen in front of u before you got there. think of all the easter eggs where u see him. so that means all the coincidental ramps and poo poo are there cause the gman wentback 30 years ago and was like 'hey dude you should build a ramp there' and he also could have manipulated them into building that ramp the guy has a literal infinite amount of time at his disposal

every time you die you just get pooped out of stasis at the last point in time where the system is deterministic and still has probability for mission success
